100 words on bad theology...
29 comments:
Some of my formative years were spent in a church that taught the "name it, claim it" theology. Thankfully I have parents that rejected that theology and got us out of the church!
Thank you for sharing this!

I get so tired of prosperity preachers. I'd just like to walk to up one and say:
"In the last ten years I've been thrown out of ministry, recovered from a porn addiction, been divorced, had one of my children molested, had another diagnosed with a lifetime disability, lost everything I owned in a fire, lost jobs, went deep in debt just to live, remarried and have had four miscarriages with my new wife and work 60 hours a week just to pay our bills. Through all of this I'm named and claimed a better life and believed God would bring it. So are you telling me because I've had to endure those trials and many more that somehow I'm not truly a follower of Jesus?"
I'm pretty sure security would whisk me away quickly.

Hmmmmm, don't know where I stand on this, yet. I TOTALLY agree that just because we follow Jesus, that we should be blessed more than the next guy, but didn't He ultimately suffer for us so that we would not have to???
Looking forward to reading more comments/reactions/thoughts!

Definitely wrong! Christ did not die on the cross for us to feel rejection, pain, and live in poverty. If God is Love, then I doubt that he wants you to be so poor and to not have ends meet. Ask and ye shall receive. Don't let your fear of wanting to reach out and obtain hinder you.

@Rebecca: Thanks for reading it!
@Jason: What in the world?!?!?!? Wow, thank you for sharing so candidly. I had no clue. Brother, the fact that you are still walking and living for Jesus is nothing short of a miracle. I give you my respect and heart-felt prayers of love as you love your new wife, assist your child, and heal with your other child.
@Lydia: Werd.
@JJ: Let me break this down [as I crack my knuckles in preparation]: JC suffered a physical and spiritual death as an act of propitiation. He did what we could never do. That is the ULTIMATE act of suffering.
But people want to talk about us living a sickless life void of pain or discomfort. Yes, we are blessed in Christ, but Paul had to work for a living and suffered with a physical ailment. Peter was crucified. John was banished. None of them led lives without pain.
Priscilla and Aquila had financial wherewithall. Jairus had dinero. Joseph of Arimethea has ca$h. But they all suffered too.
Living for Christ comes with a cost. Let's tell people the truth and explain what it means by, "picking up the cross and following Jesus."

@Anonymous: I LOVE YOUR STAND! But let us know your name and who you are so we can dialogue.
I mentioned it to JJ, but I'll explain a bit more here.
God doesn't WANT us to be poor, but we live in a world of sin and brokenness and sometimes we are faced with tough situations.
My mom is SO in love with the Lord and has lived a life FULL of faith. But she had brain cancer. Does that mean God didn't love her? No way, Jose!
There are tons of examples of people in the bible who suffered. It's how we respond to the suffering that's awesome and displays Christ's love.
Furthermore, the "ask and recieve" scripture you are referencing is in regards to spritual gifts, not wealth. The texts must be read in context.

Amen B! You can add to that list that coming to Jesus will not promise...healing missing limbs ;), guarantee a mate, not be affected by economy, not FEEL the hurt of various pain, etc. All these Jesus allows to display His worth by our willing to endure to stay close to Him.
- March 31, 2010 at 9:55 AM
Okay, the post was a little bit vague, so I think your explanations have really helped, Bianca :) I'll put in my two cents based on your post alone.
I would have to disagree with the statement that Jesus was poor, hungry and homeless. When he was crucified, they gambled for his garments. Why would they do that if they were not of a certain worth? I don't think that Jesus was hungry, at least not all the time. Five loaves two fish, anyone? Don't you think there were people in his path who blessed him because he was in the will of God doing his work?
Jesus was not some bum that walked the streets. He was the son of a carpenter, from a family that had a source of income. He did not just magically appear one day dressed in rags preaching the gospel. Now, that isn't to say that every day was sunshine and rainbows, obviously there was the 40 days in the wilderness. However, that having been said, it's my two cents. I don't know everything, totally not. There is great humility in correction so if I am wrong, feel free to point it out.
I do not think that we are exempt from suffering, but I do believe that Christ died so that we could break free from the law which prohibits people from living blessed lives and keeps them in a poverty mentality.
We go through certain things so that we can draw closer to God. If we lived lives that were happy go lucky carefree...well, why would we need God, right? I do not think that we should be in the mentality of "NEVER BEING SICK! EVER! I AM INVINCIBLE CHRISTIAN!" but having said that, we have authority over our bodies. The faith of using that authority draws us closer to God. :]
God's will is for us to be blessed. We are not supposed to live paycheck to paycheck or just where it's comfortable enough.
However, I do not believe that simply claiming something will make it magically appear, either. We need to offer ourselves as a living sacrifice, to help others and bless them and live a life pleasing to God.
God is not the God of getting by. But I also don't think God is the God if "YOU GET A CAR! YOU GET A CAR! YOU GET A CAR!"

AMEN!! Great post B-I love it!!
- March 31, 2010 at 10:08 AM
It's ironic how much opposition this article is getting.
You're right. And I love that this makes people a little flustered. It causes us to look at things a little differently, especially if we disagree.

I believe that there are people that have confused the message of prosperity, taken scriptures out of context and have unfortunately mislead people. Also people have different meanings for the word prosperity. Some think just in terms of material things. Some define prosperity as riches and success. When I think of prosperity, I think of wholeness. I know that Jesus wants me to be whole Spirit, Soul and Body (3 John 2).
I believe that Jesus paid the ultimate price for us on the cross. We have been redeemed from the curse of the law. Everything that is bad is under the curse. Only good comes from God. Does that mean that we won't face challenges in life, absolutely not! We do have an enemy that comes to steal and to kill and to destroy. But Jesus came so that we could have life and really live it to the full! (John 10:10)
People need money to preach the Gospel… People need to have healthy and strong bodies to preach the Gospel… People need to be healthy in their mind, will and emotions to preach the Gospel. Try preaching the Gospel without prosperity… it isn't just about money. Are we exempt from experiencing trials and tribulations in this life, absolutely not! Can we live an overcoming life, yes… and let it be so!
- March 31, 2010 at 10:23 AM
Ruffling a few feathers with this post B!! I think that's great.
Then a certain scribe came and said to Him, "Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go."
And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." - Matthew 8:19-20
Jesus did not tell this sribe - No Do not follow me....instead He gave him the truth and did not say "Following me will be glamorous", it will come with many bumps on the road, we still have to live in this fallen world. Count the cost of discipleship.
I know your works, tribulation, and poverty- Revelation 2:9
Jesus knew the poverty that those in the church of Smyrna were facing - they were not rolling in chariots on 20's, this church was dirt poor and about to be hit with some major suffering if you read on in the chapter.
If God blesses us then cool - we thank Him greatly for it, but I do not think that we should use the Gospel as a means to get rich. We should take up our crosses daily and follow Jesus, not follow Him and with the intent of picking up money bags. Store your riches in Heaven and not here on earth.

You never cease to amaze me. Your blog is REALLY good and you always bring fresh and raw content. I love hearing your writer's voice and it always makes me laugh.
In RE: to this post, I am writing my next book on suffering --NOT a popular topic. Thanks for being real. We need to read more of this. Sometimes we gloss over the Bible and stores like RUTH where we think aww a chick flick. WRONG. Ruth was Pagan. The wrong skin color. Homeless. Bitter mother-in-law. Yeah I want to be her. NOT. Humm...church?

Hmm... interesting comments here B. Well I definitely think clarity comes when you understand context and also when you differentiate our own personal desires/wants/pleasures vs. what His will is and what He desires.
Just a couple of points that come to mind that I happened to go over in my small group last night. :)
James 4:3 "You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures."
**Yes--he does say ask and you shall receive. But it matters if we are asking according to his will. God knows a selfish prayer when he hears it. He knows our motives and if it is in line with his will. So when we ask for things or if we expect good things, it doesn't just happen because we have asked. I think he will always provide for what we NEED, but after that we have to seek God's will when we go to Him asking for things. And sometimes all the pain, suffering, etc. actually does draw us closer and has a purpose in the bigger picture that we don't always see.
John 14: 13,14 "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it."
**I think the part of that verse you can't overlook is asking so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. It's not just asking.
I dunno...just how I understand it.

Whoa! Who knew y'all were so deep. I'm seriously blown away.
Ok, just so we're on the same page here, I'll clarify with the following:
*I would LOVE to drive a Ferrari.
*I would LOVE to buy a house in Laguna Beach.
*I would LOVE to be free from my college loans.
In fact, I pray for big, HUGE things.
If we're being honest, just this morning I prayed that I would find an Easter dress for Sunday. But not just ANY dress. I asked for a million dollar dress that I could find for $20. Hey, I dream big! ;)
But I also know God will sustain me and provide according to His will.

I love all the perspective. I grew up in an urban prosperity preaching mega church. I now work at a super conservative predominately white southern baptist church. I think ultimately we preach what we need. Lots of black people are in a "come up" mode as to they desire to be at a better level in life, mainly finances. There are lots of white people who have had for a long time (not all of course). In talking with a coworker who HATES prosperity teaching I have found that they live and have what many of the people I grew up with wanted (from a material stand point). When I walked in their home, I thought to myself this is what so many people I know pray for, to live at this level. That person's issue in life though is a serious chronic pain disease, not wealth.
Ultimately, I am thankful for all the perspective I have gained, I have a whole life approach to the things of God. I dont just want to be wealthy, I want to be a light in this world.
It does amaze me though that some people despise the prosperity gospel so much, seeing as that we will have mansions in heaven LOL. (John 14:2)
God came to give us abundant life (John 10:10). I believe that is a reference to the NOW and for ETERNITY.
There are so many different disciplines in the word of God, many preachers/teachers only focus on one area e.g. prosperity, end times, healing, salvation, reformation, hell... I think that it is wise for us to take it all in so that we are balance christians and not brainwashed to one specific section of the gospel.
That's all I got for now. :)

Book of Job anyone?? That is all about a man's suffering and his CONTINUED faithfulness to our almighty God.
I despise the prosperity gospel and the idea that we will live a blessed life here. We are called to a life under Christ and God's submission, that doesn't mean that we will be blessed in this lifetime. Surely our "blessing" as such is that we get to spend not only this life leaning on him and having a relationship with him (that can be difficult and stormy at times when we want things to go our way in out time and under our control) but also that we get to spend eternity in his presence without living in our current fallen world...
hope this makes sense :)

- Jason said...
How can we talk about the book of Job and not look at the fact that he was wealthy to begin with, God took away his protection and then AFTER Job showed his faithfulness he was RESTORED 7 times what he had before.
Why would God give him so much wealth again? I believe it was to glorify God.

I am in total agreement with you Bianca. I have been thru so much over the past several years. I have had several Christian people share with me that my "suffering" must be due to some sin in me...otherwise I would have total peace in my life. I disagree with this mentality..COMPLETELY! Following Christ makes it possible to have peace IN THE MIDST of our suffering. Check out Hebrews 5:8 "Although he was a son, he learned obedience by what He suffered." (in reference to Jesus' life & death) I believe it is the same for me. Although I am a daughter of the King, I will learn obedience by what I suffer. I know God wants to bless us...but sometimes it is in different measure that what we can understand with our humanness. I am blessed...even though at times..I suffer.
Hope that makes sense:)

Dang! Late to the party. Seriously, this is your topic for a 100 Word Wednesday!? ha!!
This reminds me of Jon Acuff's "Booty God, Booty!" ;)
I have been in churches that teach both prosperity and poverty. <-- Yes, for real.
And I think I've landed in the middle. I think of "in this world you will have trouble" along with "I have come that you may have life, and life abundant."
God knows the desires of our hearts and we are free to ask. And He is free to give what He sees as best for us. If our hearts are right we will accept His answers. But along with asking and receiving we also need to be content with not receiving at times. And I take comfort in the fact that I'm not God. And I don't always (if ever) know what's best for me.
Like I said, I'm somewhere in the middle. Love this topic. Sorry I'm late to it. I hope you revisit it down the road with 1000 words! ;)

Pop superstars Adele and Beyonce have been tipped to perform for First Lady Michelle Obama during her upcoming 50th birthday celebrations at the White House.
President Barack Obama's wife will reach the milestone on 17 January (14) and preparations are already underway for a major party in Washington, D.C.
The star-studded bash will include a number of musical performances from high-profile artists, and Britain's Mail on Sunday newspaper reports Adele and Beyonce have both been invited to sing.
A source tells the publication, "America's First Lady will be holding a huge celebrity-packed party for her birthday at the White House next year and, as she adores Adele and Beyonce, she has asked them both to sing. Adele has graciously accepted and waived her usual fee for the high-profile private performance. She will sing a selection of her most-loved hits for the First Lady and her friends."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Florida senior guard Kenny Boynton has endured shooting dry spells before.
But Boynton is in the midst of the worst shooting slump of his storied UF career. The 6-foot-2 former McDonald's All-American said he isn't pressing despite making just four 3-pointers in his last 32 attempts.
"I'm good," Boynton said following UF's 67-61 loss to Kansas State. "I'm not pressing. I know it's going to come. Coach (Billy Donovan) told me to take open looks and that's pretty much what I've been trying to do."
Boynton finished with 11 points against Kansas State, but was just 1 of 5 from 3-point range. Even with Scottie Wilbekin playing more point guard, Boynton failed to make the most of his open looks off the ball.
Boynton's lone 3-pointer tied the game at 41 with 13:21 remaining in the second half, but it didn't get him going. He followed it up with a missed 3-point attempt with 12:25 left and didn't take a 3-pointer the rest of the game.
Donovan has encouraged Boynton to shoot through his slump. Boynton shot a career best 40.7 percent from 3-point range last season. This season, Boynton is shooting just 27.9 percent (17-61) from beyond the arc.
Mechanically, Boynton said he's noticed on film that he's shooting on the way down instead of at his highest release point.
"Somehow, I've got to start shooting on the way up," Boynton said. "I just think I keep shooting on the way down, that's what it is."
It was a rough day all around for UF's guards against a Kansas State defense that pressured the perimeter. Boynton, Mike Rosario and Scottie Wilbekin consistently beat Kansas State's guards off the dribble, but took low-percentage floaters rather than try to make the extra pass. The three UF guards combined to go 10 of 31 from the field and 2 of 12 from 3-point range.
In addition, the three guards combined to have four shots blocked. Three of those shots were blocked by Jordan Henriquez. Kansas State forward Shane Southwell even closed on the perimeter to block a Rosario 3-point attempt.
"We were just trying to force shots that weren't there and not looking for the extra pass," Florida junior forward Patric Young said. "Henriquez, I give him a lot of credit for his shot blocking ability, he wasn't giving our guards windows to come in there and take easy shots. The play wasn't at the basket. It was somewhere else and it took us awhile to recognize that and they were able to capitalize on that."
Threes, Please
Kenny Boynton's 3-point shooting percentages during his UF career:
Freshman: 29.4% (72-245)
Sophomore: 33.1% (80-242)
Junior: 40.7% (110-270)
Senior: 27.9% (17-61)

Deltek Inc., a leading provider of market research and software to federal contractors, announced Monday that it had been acquired by private equity firm Thoma Bravo in a deal valued at $1.1 billion.
Deltek, which is now publicly traded, will go private. The company's largest current shareholder, New Mountain Capital, has approved the acquisition.
Deltek had revenues of $341 million in 2011, and has more than 1,600 employees. According to information provided by the firm, it serves 98 percent of the top 100 federal contractors.
The company grew into a behemoth in the federal market research field in recent years by acquiring several different companies in the space, including Input in September 2010 and FedSources in April 2011.
"While our ownership structure has changed over the years, our unwavering commitment to your success has not," Deltek president Kevin Parker said in a message to the company's customers. "With Deltek, you can expect to work with the same passionate, collaborative company that you have come to know over the past 30 years."
"Deltek's powerful brand presence in the government contractor, professional services, and project-oriented markets makes it well poised for continued global industry leadership," said Holden Spaht, a Thoma Bravo partner. "Thoma Bravo is excited to work with Deltek's leadership team to accelerate growth of the company through the firm's proven buy and build strategy."

Red Hot Chili Peppers star Anthony Kiedis has been caught on camera fighting with a security guard who was trying to stop him from getting too close to the Rolling Stones at a hotel in Pennsylvania.
The singer was walking into the Four Seasons in Philadelphia on Friday (21Jun13), as the Start Me Up rockers were leaving, causing confusion among minders, who blocked Kiedis from entering the property with a female pal over concerns he was a fan just trying to get a closer look at the group.
Video footage of the incident, obtained by TMZ.com, features the 50 year old arguing with bodyguards during the brawl, which had to be broken up by police.
It is not clear whether the minder who sparked the row with the Red Hot Chili Peppers star was employed by the hotel or by the Stones, who are currently on the road with their 50 & Counting anniversary tour. They play the second of two nights at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Friday night.

Who is Ghoul Friday?
I'm a Canadian artist living in Toronto, Ontario. When I'm not transforming my house into a ghoulish scene at Halloween, I'm creating mini-monsters for local shows in the city (and occasionally, for sale online).
But that's jumping to the end of the story. Here's the beginning...
It started when my mother let me spray paint a tombstone on the concrete wall of our basement for my Grade 4 Halloween party.
It was my first real Halloween party, and I wanted it to be great. I constructed a haunted house the length of the basement and lead people through dangling, slimy snakes hanging from the ceiling - just one example of the many forms and obstacles waiting for them in the shadow. I hadn't gotten over my fear of the dark, and I was deathly afraid of being in the basement alone (never mind with the lights off), but to make sure I could see well enough to safely guide each guest one by one through the haunted space, I sat alone in the pitch black basement for 20 minutes before the party goers even started to arrive.
That's when she was born, the little ghoul in the basement. Since then, she has come back to me every year, usually in late summer, ready to build creatures for Halloween. Sure, she's there throughout the other months, peeking through my eyes at the newest horror film being released, or tickling my neck so I turn to see the brochure for the Festival of Fear coming to the city.
But it's in August when she whispers "Is it time to sit in the dark?"
Yes Friday. It's time. What friends shall we create this year?
just came across your site
I just wanted to say that I like your projects! I was looking for some Haunted House ideas ( as this is new in Belgium)... I really adore the little 'cute' pumpkins!
Have fun, and enjoy halloween 2009!
Looking for submissions
Nice site you have, Ghoul. :) I've just launched a new e-zine that is looking for submissions of dark short stories, poetry, and artwork from morbidly creative people. Your site seems filled with the type of people I am looking for. Please see the submission guidelines at http://www.thehorrorzine.com and I thank you. Jeani Rector, Editor, The Horror Zine
I love the fact that I am not
I love the fact that I am not alone in the excitement of Halloween...
My earliest recollection of Halloween is my best friend and I sitting on either side of the stove chanting spells and stirring a big pot of hot liquid (dyeing the fabric for our first witch costume) at the age of about 5. Halloween is the creative release that starts as you are putting away the decorations from last year..... Tina
Love it!
Hi Ghoul, I Love your site, It's one of the best I came upon. I have to say Halloween is my favourite time of the year. Joy and excitement overcomes me every year when this season comes creeping around the corner. I have more Halloween decorations then X-mas. My friends and family think I'm totally crazy but I love every minute of it. I'm like a kid in a toy store.
I've always bought my props but they get so expensive…I love your projects and thinking I should take the time to learn how to make my own. You have a great talent. I to plan adult Halloween every year and I'm always looking around for something new to add.
Keep it up, it's amazing!
Bloody Fun!
I love your blog! Been checking it out for the past few months. Isn't this time of year the best! And I really love your H'ween music list, it's wonderful!! Nice to hear some different tunes. Thanks so much for posting a link to it.

Love it!!
Just wanna say that I really love your site and all the horrific pieces of art that you make:) Lovely little story from your childhood which I can quite relate too.. I've allways had a fascination for the dark side and Halloween:) I came over your site some time before Halloween this year and was delighted to be able to peek into your world of creative how too's on Halloween props and ghoulish posts:)
Can't wait for the next;)

With the big money purchase of Mesut Ozil, Arsenal have finally looked like serious Premier League title contenders this season.
The big problem Arsene Wenger faces is if striker Olivier Giroud gets injured.
There will be no-one else to turn to, fair enough a few players do manage to chip in with the goals, but which striker can really step up to the plate? Not just replace Giroud, but work alongside him?
Give Me Sport contributor Raza Kazi picks out five strikers Arsenal could turn to, in the hope of signing one of them in the near future.
Wenger does not really do much of his business in January, perhaps the odd transfer but you wouldn't see a big-money move occur in January at the Emirates.
The likes of Nicklas Bendtner, Yaya Sanogo and Park-Chu Young are not the strikers to fire Arsenal to glory, far from it. So, with that in mind, here are the top five....

Tradition of academic excellence equips Waynesburg graduates for success
At Waynesburg University, academic excellence extends far beyond the walls of a classroom. Top-notch instruction—that which also weaves the principles of faith, ethics and moral leadership into the course work—is bolstered by a robust array of hands-on learning opportunities, from Nursing Simulation and Marine Biology Labs to a remote TV production truck and Lasershot Firearms Simulator.
As a result of these facilities, co-curricular organizations possess the opportunity to grow and flourish, preparing students professionally. For example, the University's American Chemical Society student chapter recently received the "Outstanding Chapter Award" for the fifth consecutive year. Additionally, the University's chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America achieved Star Chapter status for the third-straight year, and President Megan Bayles, a senior, earned PRSSA's National Gold Key Award, the organization's highest individual honor.
The University now also has agreements with multiple professional schools, affording students benefits ranging from expedited application reviews to guaranteed admission interviews, among others. These professional schools include the:
- West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine
- West Virginia University School of Medicine
- Chatham University Master of Occupational Therapy Program
- Chatham University Doctor of Physical Therapy Program
- Chatham University Master of Physician Assistant Studies Program
- Alderson Broaddus University Physician Assistant Studies Program
These types of opportunities and experiences provide Waynesburg students a distinct advantage upon graduation. Utilizing the knowledge imparted by committed faculty members, graduates regularly achieve 100% pass rates on national exams in fields such as Nursing and Athletic Training. Furthermore, the Class of 2014 achieved a 95% placement rate, which means 95% of responding students were either working full-time, in graduate/professional school or in the military within one of year of graduation.
Alumni such as Dr. Autumn Lemley, D.O. ('09) and Ryan Devlin ('07) reach new heights in their educational and professional careers as a result of their Waynesburg education. Lemley went on to graduate from West Virginia's School of Osteopathic Medicine and now practices at Cornerstone Care and Monongalia General Hospital as a Family Medicine Resident. Devlin was named the 2013 Pennsylvania Teacher of the Year and became the first person ever from the state to be one of the three finalists for National Teacher of the Year.
Stories like those of Autumn and Ryan abound among Waynesburg graduates, and so many attribute their success in large part to their time at Waynesburg. To learn more about what alumni are doing and where students are interning, visit waynesburg.edu/outcomes.
For more numbers on academics at Waynesburg, see the bulleted list below:
- 70+ major concentrations
- 3 five-year integrated bachelor's to master's programs
- 18 students in an average class

For Release February 24, 10:2
Salt Lake City, Utah - Today, RDIA announces steps to promote and support distribution of the report. immediate availability of the 2014 Report on Cloth Diaper Co-Ops produced by the Real Diaper Association (RDA), an Associate member of RDIA. This position paper examines the impact cloth diaper co-ops have on the cloth diaper movement. It provides guidance about co-ops to protect consumers and to advance both RDIA and RDA's mission of promoting and increasing the use of reusable cloth diapers.
"RDIA is fully supportive of the work done by RDA in this thorough and informative report. Our members are very concerned about not only fraud and unfair business practices and unfair competition, but more importantly, negative consumer experiences. The success of our member businesses requires that families are able to experience cloth diapering in a positive, legal, community conscious way. This experience is key to the long term sustainability of the cloth diapering movement," said Janelle Cridland, Executive Director of RDIA.
RDIA's Co-Op/Black Market Imports committee has been working in preparation for release of the report. Soon to be released and available for download will be postcards and posters that will help consumers identify a "clean diaper" versus a diaper obtained from an illegal Co-Op or black market importer. A website (cleandiaper.org) is being developed that will contain the retailer materials for download, consumer and retail testimonials, the full RDA report and other valuable information.
Many consumers have no idea the impact that illegal co-ops have on independent retailers and their local community. By providing retail members with tools to inform their customers about the issue and directing them to the report and cleandiaper.org, we are confident that more consumers will have the ability to make informed choices about where and how they purchase products for their families.
"We've long supported families in saving money by using reusable cloth diapers, regardless of style or brand," says Heather McNamara, Executive Director of the Real Diaper Association. "However, illegal cloth diaper co-ops put the long-term sustainability of the practice of cloth diapering at risk, so we issued this report to help inform our cloth diapering constituents about their buying choices."
2014 Report on Cloth Diaper Co-Ops Report is available for immediately download at http:/realdiaperindustry.org/Resources/Documents/realdiaperassociation.org_cloth-diaper-co-ops_RDAPositiononClothDiaperCo-ops.pdf
Founded in 2008, RDIA is a trade association bringing together the cloth diaper industry, serving diaper services, manufacturers, artisans, retailers and associate members serving the cloth diaper industry.

Nikki Giovanni Poems
|Kidnap Poem
|Knoxville Tennessee
Comments about Nikki Giovanni
madison miksil
i hate u world lol i am just playing with u guys i love nikki giovanni
Aaron Rodgers
I am a foot ball plater
Sandra N Sneed
Nikki Giovanni is my favorite poet and my inspiration for writing poetry.
Bobbie Peppers
I like this poem because of it shows passion and future of love. You say that you love someone but then again you know for a fact that it's true for love of the peace and show respect.......or you not fortution.
Caroline Bulleck
Has anyone ever read Poetry by Nikki Giovanni? If not, here it is:
Poetry is motion graceful
as a fawn
gentle as a teardrop
strong like the eye
finding peace in a crowded room
we poets tend to think
our words are golden
though emotion speaks too
loudly to be defined
by silence
sometimes after midnight or just before
the dawn
we sit typewriter in hand
pulling loneliness around us
forgetting our lovers or children
who are sleeping
ignoring the weary wariness
of our own logic
to compose a poem
no one understands it
it never says love me for poets are
beyond love
it never says accept me for poems seek not
acceptance but controversy
it only says i am and therefore
i concede that you are too
a poem is pure energy
horizontally contained
between the mind
of the poet and the ear of the reader
if it does not sing discard the ear
for poetry is song
if it does not delight discard
the heart for poetry is joy
if it does not inform then close
off the brain for it is dead
if it cannot heed the insistent message
that life is precious
which is all we poets
wrapped in our loneliness
are trying to say
Christi Sloma
What a wonderful, uplifting speech she gave at the convocation memorial service at Va Taech the day after the shootings there.
She raised the spirits of both the students and the staff along with those of the world.
She gave hope to the hopeless of the world and raised every single person involved with Va Tech to the highest of all highs.
Va Tech is indeed lucky to have her as one of their professors.
I hope and pray that they all recover from this horrible tragedy and with staff like her, the students will prevail!
Go Hokies! Go Hokies!
Mary Keckler
Wow. Congratulations A. MacDonald you are now the poster boy/girl for the 'it is not my fault club'. He was 23, he had a brain, he was an adult. Everyone did what they could for him. Many people have horrendous childhoods, have many bad things that happen (and that they imagine happen) to them - some of them commit suicide - very few of them take people with them. How about we just balme it on him and quit dragging well meaning folks who did all they could through the mud?
Kristine Gartner
As to the person who stated that all professionals had not helped this gentlemen. It is now the job of teachers to also stop the hate in people? It is he, himself, who failed the world. He is responsible for decisions and in the eyes of most of us, is a coward.
K Baxter
are you joking? youre ridiculous. did you miss the part where people tried to talk to him and tried to help him, but he barely even spoke a word to them, even when he was spoken to? did you miss the part where he was referred to counseling, to police, to administration? giovanni is an intelligent, caring, warm hearted individual. what would you have liked her to say? ''i ache for this this poor, poor child...'' this child failed HIMSELF and while he was at it, he took 32 innocent people with him. 'boys reaching out for help' dont laugh maniacally while they shoot fellow college students execution style with automatic weapons. they do not send numerous disturbing photos and videos of themselves with weapons and angry faces, discussing how their proceeding act of murder is 'not their fault at all' but the fault of everyone else, 'they chose it, they deserve it. theyll get whats coming to them.' this wasnt a young man reaching out for help, this was a very disturbed, vicious, and immature little boy who wanted to 'get even' with 'rich kids' that he hated for no reason. was he troubled? obviously, YES! this is not an excuse for his horrifying actions and it is NO reason for professors and faculty members to feel sorry for him or feel guilty. he ripped apart a university family. he ruined lives, families, relationships... i have NO pity for this cold blooded murderer. i feel a very deep sorrow for the innocent people that he took with him in his suicide mission and i feel sorry for the family that he embarrassed.
A Macdonald
Nikki Giovanni's comments concerning the Vtech shootings should put her out of work. Her lack of maturity, sensitivity or humanity should prove to warrant some disciplinary action. Ms. Giovanni, this is a boy who was literally crying out for help on so many occasions. Every 'professional' who had dealings with this young man has FAILED him including YOU.

I always like summer
you can eat fresh corn
From daddy's garden
And okra
And greens
And cabbage
And lots of
And buttermilk
And homemade ice-cream
At the church picnic
And listen to
Gospel music
At the church
And go to the mountains with
Your grandmother
And go barefooted
And be warm
All the time
Not only when you go to bed
And sleep
Love Is
Some people forget that love is
tucking you in and kissing you
'Good night'
no matter how young or old you are
Some people don't remember that
love is
listening and laughing and asking
no matter what your age

As part of its celebration of Teen Driver Safety Week, PennDOTSecretary Barry Schoch announced on Friday, Oct. 18, that Governor Tom Corbett has
proclaimedOct. 20-26 as Teen Driver Safety Week in Pennsylvania to coincide with thenational observance.
PennDOT is using this opportunity to remind parents and guardians thatadultsupervision is a critical component of keeping teen drivers safe on theroads,recognizing that parents and guardians are an integral part of teen drivingsuccess even after they have been licensed.
�Safely operating a vehicle requires complex evaluations, split-seconddecisions and intricate maneuvers and to help keep kids safe, parents and
guardians must thoroughly evaluate a teen driver�s knowledge, skills andabilities behind the wheel,� Schoch said. �Adults set a positive, safeexamplefor young drivers in their family and continuing to monitor young driversafterthey receive their license helps keep young drivers safe.�
From 2008 to 2012, there were 103,002 crashes involving at least one 16 to19-year old driver in Pennsylvania, resulting in 851 fatalities. Of thosecrashes, 46 percent involved the teen driver driving too fast forconditions,driver inexperience, driver distraction, or improper or careless turning.
The risk of a crash involving any of these factors can be reduced throughpractice, limiting the number of passengers riding with a teen driver,obeyingall rules of the road and using common sense.
In efforts to strengthen graduated driver licensing requirements andenhancetraining for young drivers, Governor Corbett signed Act 81 into law in2011.
The law increased supervised, behind-the-wheel skill building for permitholders under 18 years old from 50 to 65 hours and added stricter limits onthenumber of passengers that young drivers can transport for the first sixmonthsafter they receive their junior license. The law also made it a primaryoffensefor anyone under 18 not properly wearing a seat belt.
As a part of their obligation to help their children become responsible andsafe drivers, parents and guardians should:
� Talk to teens about safe driving skills before they turn 16.
� Establish a parent/teen driving contract.
� Strongly encourage teens to avoid distractions behind the wheel.
� Limit the number of passengers teens are allowed to have in theirvehicle.
� Limit dawn, dusk and nighttime driving until teens gain more experience,andenforce a curfew. Remember, state law prohibits 16- and 17-year-olds with ajunior license from driving between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.� Gradually increase the amount of time and distance teens are allowed todrive.
� Enforce the need to obey speed limits and other rules of the road.
� Ride with their teens occasionally to monitor driving skills.
� Always set a good example.
PennDOT is proud to announce the availability of an additional, optionaltoolfor parents and guardians to utilize in their education efforts: PennDOT�s new �Teen Driver� plate. The plate features an inverted triangle in red,with the words �Teen Driver� appearing in yellow letters in the triangle.
Thephrase, �Please Be Courteous,� is featured in blue letters on the sides ofthetriangle. The letters �T� and �D� appear vertically to the right of thesymbol.
The plate is available for $20 and can be ordered by visitingwww.dmv.state.pa.us.
For more information on young driver safety, visit PennDOT�s highway safetywebsite, www.JustDrivePA.com, and select the �Young Driver� link under theTraffic Safety Information Center.

SealCoat Dewaxed Shellac Sealer
Zinsser's Bulls Eye brand sealer is a 2-lb. cut of pure, clear, dewaxed shellac - so of course it's imbued with more than a little magic. Dewaxed shellac is an ideal sanding sealer. It bonds tenaciously to virtually any bare wood or finished surface; it dries very quickly, sands smooth with the greatest of ease, and since it contains no stearates it provides a reliable base for any kind of finish going on top. Thinned with denatured alcohol (3 parts alcohol to 2 parts sealer), SealCoat works as an excellent pre-stain surface conditioner, reducing blotchiness and uneven penetration of pigment stains. Use as a seal coat over water-based dyes that have no binder. It will make the dye color less likely to migrate into the first coat of a water-based finish.
Notice to residents of California: Please read our Proposition 65 warning.

Diamonds Are Forever
The Doral Golf Resort and Spa played host January 10 to the 2009 Barry University Founders' Ball. Themed "Denim & Diamonds," the annual event raised more than $190,000 for student scholarships and brought out more than 300 Barry supporters and community leaders. The evening consisted of dinner, dancing, a reception and silent auction.
Hosted by former WPLG TV anchor Dwight Lauderdale, the highlight of the event was the presentation of the Faith and Freedom Awards, which recognizes men and women whose work and actions have embodied the shared religious values of civility, mutual respect and justice while addressing controversial and challenging issues. This year's Faith and Freedom Award recipients were Norma Quintero, a community leader and editor and chief of Social Affairs magazine, and Paul DiMare, chairman of the Florida Tomato Committee and a leading advocate for Florida farmers and free trade.
Also honored at the event were former Congresswoman Carrie Meek, former U.S. Ambassador Jean Wilkowski, and community leaders Trish Bell and Josie Poitier.

Born in Buffalo on Feb. 20, 1933, Jan Madejski died peacefully at his home in Grand Island on Feb. 12, 2013, surrounded by his family.
He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Rose Mary (Crimaldi) Madejski and his children, Dr. Thomas (Sandra) Madejski, Linda (Pantelis) Panteli and Dr. Mary Ann (George) Spanos. He was blessed with 10 grandchildren: Pano (Teo) Spanos, Kypros Panteli, Jan Panteli, Thomas Spanos, Gregory Madejski, James Madejski, Giovanni Madejski, Jacqueline Madejski, Joseph Madejski, and Chryssie Rose Panteli.
Jan trained as an optician and served as a corporal in the U.S. Army during the Korean War trained at Fort Belvoir and was stationed in St Louis, Mo., from 1953-55. Following his military service, he enrolled at the University of Buffalo, graduating from the School of Pharmacy in 1959.
Jan and his wife owned Herman-Stall Pharmacy, 251 Forest Ave., in Buffalo for more than 30 years. Jan was very active in his profession on a local and state level. He was a former president of the Erie County Pharmaceutical Association, and served on the New York State Board of Pharmacy, and was chairman of the Board of Pharmacy. He was a strong supporter of the Boy Scouts of America, and is a James B. West Fellow of the Iroquois Trail Council in Batavia.
Jan had many diverse interests which he passed on to his children and grandchildren, including his Polish heritage and a lifelong love of music. He sang with the City Choir as a youth, and was the only non-physician member of The Singing Doctor's performance group in the 1980s. Annually, Jan and Rose Mary hosted singing parties where family and friends gathered around a great meal and then sang tunes ranging from Broadway musicals to Belafonte's Calypso music or Polish songs. Jan loved exploring other cultures and traveled extensively with his wife as well as serving on the welcoming committee for Buffalo's International Institute hosting dignitaries from foreign lands.

NRA: Stand & Fight; Chuck Schumer
The folks at the NRA sent us this video, the latest in their Stand & Fight series about Chuck Schumer who has told us that he won't push for universal gun registration, has flipped, unsurprisingly;
The Senate Judiciary Committee may have an up-or-down vote on Dianne Feinstein's Scary Black Guns Ban as early as Thursday according to the Washington Post. Among the things may vote on is a Schumer bill on background checks;
…the committee plans to consider a bill by Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) to expand the nation's gun buyers background check system. What's unclear is what version of the Schumer bill will be considered: An older version introduced in previous congressional sessions, or an updated version that includes bipartisan support. Schumer has been in negotiations with Sens. Joe Manchin III (D-W. Va.), Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) in hopes of earning moderate Democratic and Republican support for a plan that could expand background checks to all private firearms sales with limited exemptions.
Schumer's bill is S.374. Oddly enough, I can't find the text of the bill. However, Joe Manchin is going to be welcomed in his office tomorrow morning by yet another fax from a disgruntled voter.

Troy Thibodeau, manager and auctioneer at Saco River Auction Co. in Biddeford, said the card depicting the Brooklyn Atlantics amateur baseball club drew plenty of interest Wednesday night. It starting with an opening bid of $10,000 and quickly rose to the final $92,000, which included an 18-percent premium.
The name of the buyer was not released.
The card isn't the same as a modern-day baseball card, which became common in the 1880s. Rather, it's an original photograph from 1865 mounted on a card, showing nine players and a manager.
The Library of Congress said last month it was aware of only two copies of the photo. The other is in the institution's collection.

There is nothing wrong with your vision. I know...the title says this is Ina Garten's Birthday Sheetcake. Instead, you are viewing a three-layer cake. You see, this week's choice for the Barefoot Bloggers comes from Susy of "Everyday Gourmet". Susy chose this recipe from Ina Garten's Cookbook, Barefoot Contessa Family Style (which I recently purchased), because it's her birthday month. Happy Birthday, Susy!
I admit, that I groaned when I first saw this recipe. Don't get me wrong! I love cake, are you kidding?! It's just that my almost-21 year old son recently moved out and I'm adjusting to cooking for two.
What to do? I decided to bake with two 9-inch round cake pans. My second dilemma is that -- are you ready-- I'm not a huge fan of dark chocolate frosting. I like milk chocolate, in moderation. I just couldn't muster enough enthusiasm to make Ina's ganache-style frosting, because dark chocolate frosting just isn't my favorite thing. I do, however, appreciate a moist chocolate cake with vanilla frosting-- like my Chocolate Bliss Cake. I admit that I considered using the same lemon that I used for the zest, in this cake batter, to make a lemon butter cream. On second thought, I figured I'd be deviating too far of a from Ina's recipe...so, I had to carefully think outside the box. I jumped in without any set idea of where I would end up.
I'll quit yapping, and get on with the show--
Adding eggs, and then the dry ingredients. Hmmm, this batter seems pretty thick (my thoughts in my busy brain). Oooh! It sure tastes good!
Still, I'm thinking that this dough is kinda thick. I used an off-set spatula to even it out a bit. I had extra batter, so I grabbed a third pan and filled it.
Wilton's Cake release, too. I don't need to butter and flour-- I just brush this product on and the cake pop right out of the pan! I kept admiring how tall and even colored these layers are! Now, what do I do next? Think, think, think! I settled on making vanilla pudding, deciding I would use that as a filler instead of all chocolate frosting. I've made Ina's pastry cream for her delicious strawberry tart, but I'm just not in the mood for all that extra work-- because I still have frosting to make. So I grabbed boxed pudding-- the kind you cook and chill. Yes-- me, the person who strives to cook all things from scratch. Ha! I covered the pudding with plastic wrap and debated if I should make Ina's chocolate frosting, after all. I look at Ina's recipe and...
My decision is made. I'm making my own easy chocolate butter cream, using Dutch Processed Cocoa! My husband licked that beater blade clean, I'll tell you. He loved it. It's time to assemble the cake-- and I decide to grab a jar of my homemade raspberry jam. I'm thinking vanilla cake, vanilla pudding, raspberry jam and chocolate-- that should do it! I seriously wanted to call my cake baking/decorating diva and friend-- Monica, from "Lick the Bowl Good". I need ideas. I need support. Then, I realize, I can't find her phone number. I'm utterly alone and out of my comfort zone. I confess-- I never finished the Wilton Cake Decorating Class. I'm not very good at fancy cake decorating, and my Wilton roses look like cabbages. So, I forge on and put into practice a couple of very useful tricks that I learned.
I stand back to admire my
It's moist, but it has a dense texture. Personally, I prefer light and tender cakes. It's good... but this recipe doesn't earn my "OMG, this is fantastic!" The cake reminds me of Pioneer Woman's Strawberry Shortcake Cake.
NOTE: After making this cake, I read the reviews. I wish I had done this in reverse order. This recipe doesn't have stellar reviews, but some folks said to reduce the baking soda down to 3/4 tsp.
I immediately freeze half the cake, to give to my son when he comes to visit-- which I suspect will happen once he's tired of eating Top Ramen and frozen pizza. The rest of the cake goes to my husband's office. I'm relieved, because I don't need that kind of temptation.
Overall, I made this cake more work than it needed to be. Sheet cakes are my lazy way of baking-- and I'm still in-love with Pioneer Woman's (Ree) Texas Chocolate Sheet cake, because it's so easy to make. Ree's recipe wins my OMG factor for chocolate ratio/moistness and ease to make-- (sorry, Ina). Overall, I much prefer a white cake that is made with only egg whites, and with a little hint of almond extract. I'm still searching for that perfect recipe.
Ina's recipes have never failed me, and I've posted several of her recipes. I wouldn't say this one failed me. It's just not one I would have personally chosen to make. Still, I enjoyed the challenge. Would you believe the next BB's recipe is another cake-- chocolate, no less?? You're killing me!
I've posted Ina's recipe and my chocolate butter cream a the bottom of this page. Thanks, Susy, for encouraging me to think outside the box. I can't wait to see what the other Barefoot Bloggers thought of this recipe. Come check them out, too. Join us, if you are a fan of Ina Garten. I've met some really nice people through this group. But, please, no more cake recipes for a while, okay? My bathroom scale thanks you.
Baked with Love,

Information for Patients
If you are having surgery, your doctor will give you medicine called an anesthetic. Anesthetics reduce or prevent pain. There are three main types:
- Local - numbs one small area of the body. You stay awake and alert.
- Regional - blocks pain in an area of the body, such an arm or leg. A common type is epidural anesthesia, which is often used during childbirth.
- General - makes you unconscious. You do not feel any pain, and you do not remember the procedure afterwards.
You may also get a mild sedative to relax you. You stay awake but may not remember the procedure afterwards. Sedation can be used with or without anesthesia.
The type of anesthesia or sedation you get depends on many factors. They include the procedure you are having and your current health.

If there's a theme that has dominated this year's Mobile World Congress then it is that of quad-core. And if one company has prevailed in that bracket then it is undoubtedly Nvidia.
We've seen more Tegra 3 devices announced over the past couple of days than our paella and cerveza-infused brain can recollect at this point, and so it was a surprise to stumble across a pretty nifty looking unannounced Tegra 3 tablet from Toshiba flaunting its wares at Nvidia's temporary Spainsh HQ.
The Toshiba 7.7 not only smashes through games such as Golden Arrow without hesitation thanks to the quad-core power, but also has a jaw-dropping 7.7-inch display that we were told is a 1200x800 AMOLED one.
Not much else is known spec-wise for the tab with a model number AT270, except that its running Android Ice Cream Sandwich, and it has both front and rear-facing cameras.
Like the Toshiba AT200, it's super-thin and it has a lovely silver-textured back. It feels almost weightless in hand and is the perfect size for playing the Tegra 3 optimised gaming titles.
We'll let you know as soon as we hear more about Toshiba's mystery quad-core mini-monster but for now check out our hands-on pictures.

Rep. Hanna seeks to deceive with ban on medical marijuana in workplace
by Ralph Givens
Dear Editor,
Rep. Hanna seeks to deceive when he lumps marijuana in with alcohol as a cause of workplace injuries. The fact is that 5-20% of on-the-job occupational injury involve alcohol without any other drug involved.
House Republican Leader Bruce Hanna is probably working for the drug testing industry since they are the only ones who gain from universal drug tests. Employers stand to lose a bundle if Hanna succeeds because according to the Le Moyne study, drug testing reduces a company's effectiveness. "We found that productivity was 16 percent lower in companies with pre-employment testing than those that didn't test, and it was 29 percent (lower) in companies with both pre-employment and random testing.'' (See references 1, 2, 3)
Drug testing to improve workplace safety is another fiction because the National Academy of Sciences found that illegal drug use causes few workplace accidents and that off-duty drug use has about the same small effect on worker accidents as off-duty drinking. The reason
drugs cause very little trouble in the workplace is simple. People use drugs away from work in ways that do not affect job safety or performance. (See reference: Drug Testing and Workplace Accidents Paul Rountree, M.D.)
In 2001, the American Civil Liberties Union issued a report based on studies by the National Science Foundation and the AMA showing that testing has been ineffective in reducing drug use and has no noticeable impact on reducing either absenteeism or improving productivity. The AMA found it costs a company $77,000 to find one drug user by testing all employees.
There is no valid evidence whatsoever that drug testing benefits businesses or the public in any way. Lowering the efficiency of the work force 16-29% without any benefits is just plain stupid. Oregon employers who want laws regarding drug use are obviously not concerned about how profitable their businesses are.
Lowering productivity is not the only fraud involved in drug testing. More than 65 prescription and over the counter medications produce false positive results. If a person takes Advil, Nuprin, Motrin, Excedrin Ibuprofen, Aleve (Naproxen), has a Kidney infection, Diabetes or Liver Disease there can be a false positive for marijuana. Nyquil, Contact, Sudafed, Allerest, Tavist-D, Dimetapp, Phenegan-D, Robitussin Cold and Flu, Vicks Nyquil (Ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, propylephedrine, phenylephrine, or desoxyephedrine) create erroneous indications for amphetamines. Poppy Seed bagels, Tylenol with codeine, Cough suppressants with Dextromethorphan (DXM), and most prescription pain medications produce a false positive for Heroin use.
Drug testing was created by drug war profiteers like Robert L Dupont (former drug czar), Carlton Turner (former drug czar) and Peter Bensinger (former head of NIDA) for their own profit. After persuading Congress and the public that drug tests were the solution to our drug problems these greedy poltroons joined together in forming Bensinger, Dupont & Associates (the world's largest drug testing company) to cash in the drug testing policy they established. Bensinger, Dupont & Associates contracted as advisors to 250 of the nation's largest corporations to corner the drug testing market and reap a fortune for these promoters of universal drug testing.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Barclays PLC is getting religion. The company had 453 reasons.
The U.K. bank BCS, +0.63% announced sweeping changes Tuesday, including 3,700 job cuts mostly in the investment bank, aimed at streamlining the bank in the wake of a interest-rate fixing scandal that cost it $453 million via a settlement and the job of Chief Executive Robert Diamond. Read full story on Barclays' layoffs.
A Barclays spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment.
New CEO Antony Jenkins is possibly using this "strategic review" to wipe away Diamond's fingerprints on the bank. Jenkins is focusing on the bottom line but by working inside the lines and rules. That's a contrast to Diamond, whose investment banking ethos created a strong trading and risk-taking culture at the bank.
Witness the Barclays statement that it will "Focus solely on activities that support customers and clients in geographic markets and businesses where Barclays has scale and competitive advantage."
There's a new BOB in the house: Boring Old Banking.
Exiting is the Lehman Brothers culture that Diamond fostered. Entering is a new emphasis on returns from traditional business lines that eschew gambling for gambling's sake.

BOSTON — Mayor Kevin White's four-term tenure as mayor spanned a time of tumultuous race relations in Boston. These exclusive videos from the WGBH archives show key moments from the 1970s, when White presided over court-ordered desegregation in Boston public schools.
Mayor White and James Brown, April 5, 1968A day after the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Boston was home to a famous James Brown concert. As violence was breaking out across America, White was considering canceling all public events, including the concert. Civil leaders advised White that canceling the concert might trigger a riot. The mayor relented and then persuaded WGBH to broadcast the event in an effort to keep African Americans at home.

Three Days Before Busing, Sept. 1974White appeared on WGBH's Evening Compass to deliver a message on how the city would implement its new busing policy. In-studio operators received calls from parents and Paul Russell of the Boston Police Department addressed concerns.
